party conference and First Minister Humza Yousaf delivered a speech which laid to rest any doubts about his effectiveness as the leader of the leading party of Scottish
He added:"And when they do so, Scotland is willing to be the first country in the UK to offer safety and sanctuary to those caught up in these terrible attacks." However, the big surprise in the speech was the announcement that the Scottish Government will for the first time issue bonds in order to finance key infrastructure projects. The 2016 Scotland Act contained a provision for the Scottish Government to issue bonds, but this is the first time that the Scottish Government has made use of this power.
He added:"It's also significant because what he’s saying is that Scotland can do this, independent of what Westminster is going to say and it can do it without independence. It seems that she ditched all her previous political beliefs because Rishi Sunak was nice to her. If that was all it took, then perhaps it's for the best that she's gone. She then launched into a condemnation of"toxic nationalism", resolutely ignoring the toxic and intolerant Anglo-British nationalism which is the defining characteristic of the Conservative Party.
